After our crew comes off the court, the head official (who is just observing) for the scrimmage asks if we missed a double dribble during our run. Several sideline officials and I quickly chime in with a "yes!!!". So apparently it was obvious to everyone in the gym except the Trail, who is completely clueless to what play we are talking about, even after we tell him it happened right in front of him.

My questions are--as the Center giving up the play to the Trail, would you come and get that violation? Would you consider coming to get it from the Lead since it was so obvious?
As the L, probably not. Most likely I have stuff to keep me occupied rather than looking at a vioilation 20+ feet away. As the C, maybe but it would depend on whether there was a competitive match-up in my PCA. He may just have to die with that one.
